A cloud-native, multi-product FinTech company for financial and insurance clients, Intellect Design, announced the launch of Magic Aadhaar, an AI-powered comprehensive processing solution to identify, extract, validate and mask Aadhaar details.

With the use of Aadhaar-based processing it hyper digitises the end-to-end process. Security and confidentiality of customer PII specific information is always a top concern of any individual. Especially those regularly interacting with external entities like, financial institutions, telecom companies, healthcare and government entities.

Recently the Hon’ble Supreme Court and regulatory bodies (RBI, IRDA, etc) issued a directive on usage and storage of Aadhaar Cards details while processing any on-boarding. To ensure that the companies are compliant with the issued directives, Intellect has launched a comprehensive solution built-in for end-to-end compliance.

The solution includes pipelines of computer vision, NLP, machine/deep learning and OCR. It can process over 500 document types in 87% less time and a 98% accuracy rate. The solution also identifies the Aadhaar Pattern across the document in a Contextual way.” He further added, “The solution further masks the first 8 digits of the Aadhaar Number, leaving the last 4 digits open and it is capable to run as a Real Time API or in bulk processing mode on the stored documents.”
